Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds (680 g) ground beef or 3/4 pound (340 g) each ground beef and Italian-style sausage
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or
- italian seasoning (optional).
- 8 ounces (220 ml) sugar-free pizza sauce
- parmesan or Romano cheese.
- 8 ounces (225 g) shredded mozzarella
- toppings (peppers, onions, mushrooms, or whatever you like).
- olive oil (optional).
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4)
- In a large bowl and with clean hands, combine the meat with the onion, garlic, and oregano or Italian seasoning (if using)
- Mix well
- Pat the meat mixture out in an even layer in a 9 x 12-inch (23 x 30-cm) baking pan
- Bake for 20 minutes
- Remove from oven and set broiler to high
- When the meat comes out, it will have shrunk a fair amount because of the grease cooking off
- Pour off the grease and spread the pizza sauce over the meat
- Sprinkle the Parmesan or Romano cheese on the sauce (if using) and then distribute the shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce
- Top with whatever you like: green peppers, banana peppers, mushrooms, olives, or anchovies
- I love broccoli on pizza, and thawed frozen broccoli cuts work perfectly
- You could also use meat toppings, such as sausage and pepperoni, but they seem a little redundant, since the whole bottom layer is meat
- Drizzle the whole thing with a little olive oil (if using; its really not necessary)
- Put your Meatza! 4 inches (10 cm) below a broiler set on high
- Broil for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown
